Bad Rabbit Ransomware

Those who follow the latest threats will already know about BAD RABBIT, but even though it seems targeted for Eastern Europe and Russia, if our guess is correct someone will mod it for a wider audience soon so you might want to read this excellent article from CNET about it and how it gets in and spreads.

In our experience, many of the lesser hackers or hacker wannabes will try to doctor up existing code to claim their 15 minutes of fame. So it is very likely this will continue to spread. The article on CNET shows two files that need to be protected to help stop this critter, but did not mention how best to do that. We will keep looking for more on BAD RABBIT and if we find protection of any kind that is useful, we will post it here.
